Scandinavian Glass 1930-2000: Fire & Sea: Fire & Sea (Schiffer Book for Collectors (Hardcover))

A nice starter reference book to have but, of course, it can't cover everything. Still very nice to have.

Nice book, well illustrated . Information, handling and delivery perfect.

I recently had to help my family price out their collection of Scandinavian glass and pottery for insurance purposes. My parents collected many items from Sweden and Denmark from the 1960s and beyond but could not always remember where they bought a particular items. This book was an ENORMOUS help. I was able to find at least half a dozen pieces that we owned and determined reasonable values for quite a few more.I also purchased the 'Smoke and Ice' book by the same authors. The difference is 'Smoke and Ice' deals mostly with clear, lightly colored, etched or similar styles of glass while the 'Fire and Sea' book deals more with colored glass. Both are excellent and have beautiful pictures. I just wish they had released a book on pottery too.

While it contains a large number of photos there seems to be a concentration on the kitschier styles of Scandinavian colored glass (with a lot of redundant feeling group shots) — to the exclusion of much of the most beautiful work of these factories and artists. Plus, the information and attribution are not always helpful or accurate. A good book to browse, but not really useful as a reference.

Truly awesome book for anyone that loves art glass. I have many of Leslie Pina's books and the photos are just wonderful. Truly makes you want to go out and hunt for some of these beauties to add to your collection. Wonderful.

This book includes so many errors only on Gullaskrufs glassworks production. Can't speak for the rest, but I think the authors are playing the guessing game. Great pictures/photos but the text are not reliable. Real shame!
